世界的美妙在于倾听
世界的美妙在于倾听

Listening is an art which one has to develop. Listening means to understand and learn from a person. It pays nothing if you start listening, you will get to know one thing from everybody.
In this world everybody wants to speak and very few are good listeners. Those who listen are always flooded with friends. People want a good listener not a good speaker because everyone himself is a good speaker.  
Everybody has a story and sorrow to share but the problem is, there is no one to listen. Let's become a good listener and listen from heart not from ears. 
The wonderful thing in this world is the art of listening. You can develop this art only by listening. Listen to everybody and everything. Everything has its language. Listen to the sound of the blowing wind, chirps of birds. Listen without cutting in, listen with compassion. Everything is revealing something which we don't know. So start practicing listening. Wind is saying something, the sun is saying something, trees are saying...When the walls of the house are poor, then they are saying that they need a whitewash. What will be the difference if we listen carefully to anyone, if we share someone's sorrow?
Why is marriage not being successful nowadays? Why is divorce happening? Because of lack of listening. Now people don't listen to each other, due to which they cannot understand each other. Listening is very important for every relationship. Everybody should learn to listen.
Listen to yourself, your thoughts, your actions. Listening ourselves tells us what kind of person we are. It is very important to understand first ourselves, our abilities, our weaknesses etc and then to understand others. You can only understand by listening.
Don't listen what is being said, try to listen what is trying to say. There is a message behind every talk.
